Matchmaking is still trash . . .
Respawn's blog post was an outright lie.
Forum Discussion
Did they specifically say they would update it this season? It might've been more of a long term plan. Also I doubt they would get people's hopes up with the blog post if EA wasn't gonna let them do it.
@Noobby_Groovy777That's what I read. I believe the MM blog post mentioned "early 2023" for when they will start to roll out the big MM changes, but offered no actual date. I think a lot of people assumed the MM changes were released with S16, but as far as I am aware, that is not the case. I saw that they were doing some test runs in some EU regions recently, but I haven't seen anything about a widespread rollout of any major changes, as of yet.
@dSKyNafinchinMy lobbies have changed drastically. The new changes I'm sure were sent in with s16. My games have been dreadful I'm being paired against 3 stack players with 50k + kills as a solo player. It use to be rough but nothing like I'm seeing this season. Enough so to where I'm hardly even playing the game anymore. It has become not as fun with the changes I'm seeing. Friends hardly even play anymore. I do not mind playing against preds or masters but to have half a lobby filled with them is beyond annoying. I can solo 1-2 people but 3? Just not doable by me with my skill level. No reason when going in solo I should be faced against teams who devote all their time playing together and being strong together when I'm solo. Needless to say these match-making changes are taking a tole on me.
Also it feels like they are tossing us all over different regions. Some games I'm at 20 ping other servers I'm at 120 ping or more. I tested out of science every single region in NA to see my highest ping when playing was a 50 ping. I then went to UK where I average about 120 give or take. So if I'm not seeing 120 ping on any NA server that I'm on and I am randomly this is meaning I'm being pushed to other regions. Typically id chalk it up as server issues but upon testing it was a clear sign something is going on behind the scenes. (Mind you just an assumption on my end) but upon testing I'm seeing a big difference.
- @E9ine_AC I still think a lot of people don’t believe that these lobbies exist in pubs. I tell people all the time that the top “bucket” is essentially all Masters and Preds and they often tell me that’s impossible, because that would mean that high level players are playing high level players.
